💡 Why we built ExplaraX
During COVID-19, we witnessed 90% of event-only businesses struggle to survive — while community-led creators and organizations thrived.
The lesson was simple:
“Transactions don’t survive, communities do.”
ExplaraX is our comeback — a platform built from that learning to help you build a sustainable, community-first business for the decade ahead.
Btw, who are these 10% customers who survived COVID-19?
Communities. Coaches, Creators, Micro-entrepreneurs and organizations with a community-membership-driven model, strong engagement, and long-term relationships. These Communities survived, though most couldn't do much offline activities, but they engaged their members online and survived.
We also saw another trend: Business through WhatsApp Communities:
We saw a trend during COVID & post-COVID: Chat-first communities like on WhatsApp became the best way to build relationships and businesses (Coaches, Creators, Micro-entrepreneurs and Organizations) who were building community-first initiatives/business models were building future-proof & sustainable business!
